Design Principles

Alignment:
There is a clear horizontal 5 row alignment displayed - Header (Consisting of the Logo and search bar and Navigation bar), Heading, sub-heading, 1st row of products, 2nd row of products.

Proximity:
The proximity of the content is close to each other in groups.

Repetition:
The header is consistently the same on every page.

Contrast:
The contrast is good with white background and black font colour.

Design of Webpage

Weblog Usability:
This site is an official site for Mcafee products, majorly focusing on internet protection for domestic and business use.

Visual weight:
The page is set in clusters where there is 1 set of text to 1 image. This is to balance the visual weightage on the page.

White space:
The whitespace here is minimal but sufficient to allow comfortable readability.

Webtype:
the typeface used here is Arial font which is a sans serifs font. This is good for short texts and not recommended for long texts.

Navigation:
It is easy to navigate through the pages as the links are all in the header and i can return back to the home page at anytime by clicking on the logo at the header.

Scannability:
The headings and subheadings are clear and concise. High scannability with short texts and keywords in place.

Readability:
Closely linked to scannability. Due to the constituting factors as mentioned above, the page has a high readability.
